APOLLO CSM with LM 3-D Metal Earth Model

The Apollo 11 moon landing required two spacecraft- The lunar module (LM) and command service module (CSM). Once in lunar orbit, the two would separate so the LM could land while the CSM waited in orbit. After launching from the lunar surface, the LM’s ascent stage would rendezvous and dock with the waiting CSM, then the astronauts would transfer back into the main spacecraft and head home. It sounds nearly impossible but that’s the way it was July 20, 1969.

Pre-cut parts to be assembled are contained on sheets of laser cut metal, instructions included. No glue or solder is needed, the individual parts are held together by tabs inserted into slots and folded or twisted to secure in place. Tweezers or other tools for handling small parts can be helpful. Recommended for age 14+
